VNA or Very Nearly Almost magazine has been one of my favorites ever since it went to print in 2006.
Printed independently in the UK as a quarterly magazine featuring interviews with some of world's best artist/street artists, illustrators and photographers.
VNA promotes everything
from wheatpastes, paint, stencils and everything in between from the streets
through to gallery shows and events that bring together artists from
around the world.

Nowadays Steve Cross can be found operating out of the highly successful tattoo studio Korpus in Brunswick, Victoria, where he is co-owner. In this third video profiling Australian tattooists for New Era, Steve chats about his beginnings in graffiti and his transition into the B**** controlled world of Perth tattoo parlours during a time when tattooing was still underground and far from today's fashionable acceptance.

Thanks to the amazingly informative fashion blog- CUTE SUITE I have a small cameo.

Last August while chilling in Barcelona I was given the privilege to paint some brand new roller-shutters for an up and coming cafe/bar named CARAVELLE - A now beautiful venue in leafy C/ Pintor Fortuny 31, Barcelona.

Caravelle is the creation of Australian owner Zim Sutton. I met him through 2 friends of mine who were helping construct the interior of the place.
Zim told me he had moved to Barca some time ago, and after a good stint in London with a string of successful cafe/restaurant endeavors under his belt, he was itching to create something new and fresh for Barca, keeping in mind the old tradition of 'the meeting place'. A place were you can catch up with friends, have great conversations and watch Barcelona walk on by, and trust me, it doesn't always walk.

So if you're ever in his neck of the woods, check out the 2 birds I painted on ol' Zim's place Caravelle.
And even though I'm on the other side of the world I still check out his menu.

Well, it's been a while since I last posted (life's pretty busy these days) and I often think of this blog hating the fact that it's all alone.

So, here's a new post-

Instagram has become the new and easiest way for artists of all professions to expose themselves- No, not in that way, but in the way of instant image upload. I rejected it at first, thinking it's another "Thing" I have to keep on top of. Well, after about 7 months on, I've seen more amazing images, paintings and photos than ever before, and have also made many a friend. Yes, I've embraced it!!!

Secret Wars is the worlds premier live art
battle. Originating from East London, UK, Secret Wars has spread word
fast and is now sprouting up in different cities all around the globe.
It is the Fight Club of the art world and it has now landed in
Australia.
The rules are simple… artists have 90 minutes to paint their piece,
Black on White, 2 Judges and a Crowd vote decide the winner. Go BIG or
go home!
I battled the talented Conrad Bizjak a very cool guy with a very productive future ahead of him.
I will admit it was a close battle and the art gods were in my team that night so I took out the win.
Cheers to Conrad for being an all round top bloke. Check out more action and winning board at

About Me

Steve Cross is a passionate and obsessive documenter of the world around him. Since the early 1980s, where he honed his artistic craft on the bare-faced walls of suburban Perth, Steve has obsessively painted, drawn, sprayed and photographed the world around him.
Heavily involved in the street art scene in Australia, Steve has always been inspired by the urban landscape, a passion that has found a place in his textured, layered and collaged works on canvas.
Now an in-demand painter and illustrator, Steve is also a tattooist and in 2007 co-founded Korpus Studio in Brunswick, Melbourne.
He can be found there most days - coffee in hand.
